“It’s not often that a singer like Maria Neckam comes along. Blessed with a voice that she can set free as it flutters and streaks into stellar regions of music, Neckam is still able to keep it in control. She has a natural ability for heartbreaking emotion, in much the same way that Billie Holiday did.” – All About Jazz
I am currently busy putting the finishing touches to my new album, which is expected to be released on Sunnyside Records in early 2012.
